The veterinarian spoke about “human” food that is dangerous for dogs

Veterinarian Anna Voropaeva said that you can treat your dog to popcorn, as well as certain vegetables and fruits, such as bananas and broccoli. However, the main food should be a specialized type intended for dogs.

Food from the “human table” can be harmful to a pet’s health, the specialist noted.

Safe vegetables such as carrots, cucumber, cauliflower, green beans, and certain fruits including apple, banana, watermelon and cantaloupe can sometimes be given as treats. However, you need to know when to stop and take into account the individual characteristics of the animal. You can also share a small amount of peanut butter, popcorn without butter, salt or other additives, and offer a small piece of cheese.

Some foods should be completely excluded from your dog’s diet. For example, grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure, and kebabs, sausages and sausages containing large amounts of spices, salt and fat cause indigestion and increased stomach acidity. Troubling reactions can be caused by fish (sprats, anchovies, mackerel and similar types of fish), as well as yeast dough, coffee, cocoa, any chocolate, onions, garlic, hot peppers, spices and mushrooms. It is not recommended to give adult dogs cow’s milk due to the high lactose content, which they do not digest well.

If there is a suspicion of poisoning, it is necessary to give the pet an enterosorbent (for example, smecta or activated carbon) and contact a veterinary clinic as soon as possible.
